Anyone made a webshop with Servoy yet?

The topic says it all.

I have a customer who is looking for something like that.

same “problem” over here!

Maybe it’s time to build one! ;-)

I have been looking into doing this with Servoy 3.0 and touched this version briefly.

In other words, I am going to do it somewhere in Jan or Feb but that doesn’t help you I guess…

Cheers

What do you mean by webshop?

a) E-commerce website with Servoy on the back-end to process orders?

or

b) E-commerce website with Servoy on the front-end to taking orders?

I have a very successful site of type a).

Christian,

Can you tell me more about what you use?
Is it an existing (OSS) webshop where you put Servoy on top of it ? Or is it custom made ? Also what middleware do you use? PHP, JSP, Lasso, etc.?

If you want you can mail me directly via the button under this message.

Thanks!

Hi Robert,

it is fairly standard PHP website, with MySQL 4.1.x and PHP 4.x on a low cost Linux-based host. Servoy handles all editoral aspects of the site and the order processing.

There is a much more sophisicated PostgreSQL database in house. When records are edited in Servoy, I use the record copying facilities in the database manager to push data to MySQL website database. We also have a button on the order screen for fetching new orders from mySQL. The staff get emails created by PHP when new orders arrive, so the know when to fetch new orders.

In the long run I expect to change web host and move everything to PostgreSQL. MySQL falls over if you send it a complex or buggy query. PostgreSQL is much more robust and is supposed to be much faster than mySQL when the indexes no longer fit into RAM.

See www.wildy.co.uk, everything you see is edited from Servoy, including the menu structure :wink:

I think Servoy could answer this question? They have a webshop! :)
Or don’t they eat there own dog-food? :lol:

We DO “drink our own champagne”… :D

Our web shop is integrated into our home-built ERP (Servoy-based!) system.
